The Philosophy of Frying.
Porfeot frying is tho porfoction of cook
ing; but ns soon ns the fat is not sufll
ciently hot to create tho burnt crust
around tho article fried, then tho fat peno
trates it and absolutely prorcnts cooking
from taking place at all. If tho fat is not
boiling, bubbling hot, tho process that
takes placo is not cooking, but simply
drenching tho food with a tepid fat, anil
rendering it totally indigestible. It
makes no difference how hot tho fat is
made afterwards, tho mischiof is dono tho
moment tho fat ponotratcs insido. All
porfectly fried food has a thin crisp,
brown, outsido crust, (which has in itsolf
a pleasant, relishing tasto,) and is perfect
ly freo from even tho suspicion of fat in
side, except what was intontionnllr put
thoro by tho cook. All housekeepers
know that to fry well, their fat should bo
hot. Hut thny do not attend to it half as
scrupulously as thoy would if thoy under
stood tho trno philosophy of it. Boiling,
bubbling hog fat connot penotrnto any
thing, and cooks to perfection; tepid fat
penetrates overywhero, aud does not cook
at all, but actually prevents cooking.
Any housekeeper who reads this, and
chooses to prollt by it, need never put
any greasy, half-cooked and indigesliblo
food upon hor tablo. Tho wholo secret
consists in having tho fat boiling boforo
tho things nro put in. There is one other
condition which follows naturally from
this llrst one, which is almost invariably
lost sight of ovon by good cooks, and that
is that tho fat should entirely cover tho
articlo to bo fried. Tho reason of this is,
that tho part not at onco covered by tho
fat remains cold, cools oil' tho fat near it,
and then absorbs tho topid fat just tho
same as if it had novcr been hot. Frying
pans should bo deep, well tilled and heated
to tho boiling point, aud then it is oaiy to
turn out friod food crisp, brovwi and dry
on the outsido, and perfectly soft, moist
nud well cooked within. It is a peculiarity
of tho outside crust of things fried in boil
ing fat that tho fat. itsolf drips off from it
nsieadilyas water; honco well fried arti
cles aro noithor greasy in appearance nor
vory greasy iu icnlity. Frying ought to
bo as easy as boiling. Christian Union.
Indian Corn
and its Uses
Economy.
in Domestic
A bushel of Indian corn contains m nro
nutrimont than a bushel of wheat; but In
dian corn Hhould not bo ground lino, and
it will not koop sweet, There is no grain
that can bo put to somauv good uses and
served up in so many diflbront ways as
corn and corn inoal.
First, wo havo tho green corn, roasting
oar and soup iu tho early, and tho dried
corn soup and hominy tho balauco of tho
year. Thoso dishes every good houso
kcepor knows how to prepare, being
among tho most simplo in tho culinary
art.
Aud thou by grinding it into meal, what
visions of delicious eating float boforo our
eyes. First, wo havo tho corn cake, mado
of meal and wator, and a liltlo salt; if you
aro too poor to tiso eggs aud milk, mix
into a dough aud bako on a griddlo. Then
corn bread or pono, which cau only bo
mado properly by about ono housokcopcr
iu ten. Thou mush and milk and fried
mush. Wo havo novor scon tho individ
ual that did not liko ono or tho othor.
Many fail iu making good mush by not
boiling it onough. When it is morely
scalded it has a raw tasto. Thou thero is
a very good corn meal pudding, mado be
stirring tho meal into scalded skim milk
till it is as thick as gruel, aud when cool,
add gingor, cinnamon, nutmeg, bait and
sweotouing to suit tho tnsto, nnd n littlo
line cut suot and soino raisins or dried
peaches, aud a iluo cut applo. It should
bako an hour or moro, according to size.
This is a good pudding. And then sco
into how many dishos corn becomes a
palatablo and favorito mixturo. It is tho
cheapest nud most wholcsomo food that
mau can livo on, und should ,bo on tho ta
blo of both rich aud poor moro frequently
than it now is, iu somo ono of its many
forms, O'crmantown Telegraph,
Melton Vkaii. This is a standard dish
at tho LUolton races in Kngland, and is
composed of alternato slices of veal and
ham. Duttor n good sizotl bowl, aud slice
as thin as possible, six hard-boiled eggs;
then lino tho bowl with tho slicos. l'laco
in tho bottom a layor of raw veal steak
iu thiu slicos, and sprinklo ovor it a small
quantity of salt, ponpor, and grated lemon
peel; proceed in thosamo way with thin
slices of raw ham, but leavo out tho salt.
Fill up tho bowl in this mannor. Covor
it with n thick pasto of Hour and water,
to stiffas to bo rolled out. Tio a double
cotton cloth all over tho top and boil threo
hours, putting it into boiling wator at tho
first, and keeping tho wator just below tho
level of tho boul. When cooked, tako off
the cloth and tho paste, and lot tho veal
stand until tho follow ing day; thou turn it on
to a platter, and cut cry thin after it
comes to tho tablo; giTrnbh with sliced
lemon and parsloy. It is "a daiuty dish
to bet boforo a king." It is also n sido
dish for dinner, nud oxcollont for break
fast. To Pjckle CACLirMWEiis; Gather on a
tluo day somo of the whitest and closost
cnuliflowors you cau procure, break them
into bunches, and scald thorn in salt and wa
tor, taking caro they do not boil, or it will
spoil their oolor; add tho ginger, coriand
er seed, mustard eoed, nutmegs, maco, and
threo quarts of water; then put on a colan
der, sprinklo thorn with salt, and let them
drain for a day and night; then placo tho
bunches in jars, pour boiling salt ond wa
ter over them, and Ictthem remain all night;
and then drain them through a hair siovo,
aud put them into glass jars, tying them
closely ovor.
Corn Biscuit. One quart of mush, cold
or nearly so, ono teocupful of butter and
flour enough to roll about ono half inch
thick, cut into biscuit and bake to a light

Sheep in Hot Weather.
A correspondent of the Rational ZUe Stock
Journal, writing from Chntauqua, Kew York,
say si " For most breeders, it is as difficult to
summer n flock of sheep as to winter them
successfully. Flocks rcallv suffer for want of
the every-iUy care thoy cet In more Inclement
seasons. They aro more liable to contagious
diseases, ana to attacks ironi their insect foes,
with perhaps the exception ot ticks. Hot
weather, with heavy dews, or occasional
warm showers, will almost surely produce foul
in the foot, or even loot-rot, if the sheep nre
not often examined, and any incipient case
nipped iu the bud. A Hock may, to all ap
pearances, bo perfectly sound, nud yet after
a week of warm, chimp weather, if tho feet aro
examined, there will bo a sort of primary in
flammation found in the cleft between the
hoofs, looking somowhat as if scalded. If the
foot is left alone, tho llock still kept iu the
damp pasture, hoof-ail supervenes, resembling
foot-rot. Mauy consider both diseases to be
the same, differing only iu virulence, as the
varioloid differs from malicuant smnll-nox.
Both are highly contagious, nud both ) ield to
tho same remedies. Hut the hoot-nil, ns I call
It, is so much moro superficial, that it really
yields to even careless treatment, while tho
foot-rot requires tho utmost care iu cutting
aay diseased tissues and exposing ovcry part
of tho foot to contact with tho remedies
lined. If tho feet nre simply scnlded, tho ap
plication of almost any cantic will perform
a cure. Kven salt, thoroughly rubbed iu, will
answer, while tho blue wtnol ointment will
always euro on tho llrst application, l'ine
wooled sheep nro uiotf liable to tho disease,
caused probably by the tendency of their fei t
to grow long. If their fed nre cut short, with
a pair of toe-nippers, ns ofteu ns ouco in thteu
or four mouths, they nio less liable lo diseaso
of tho feet.
If tho feet aro neglected a few days, until
they begin to smell badly, then thorough ex
amination of every foot in tho flock becomes
necessary; nil diseased parts must bo pared
away, ou'n to the half ot the foot, nnd vitriol
ointment must bo thoroughly rubbed lu. Tho
certainty of tho euro depends on tho thorough
ness with wnicn the work is done. 11 tho leet
aro neglected in hot weather, nfter foot-rot or
hoof-ail Is known to be in tho llo.'k, it will take
but three or four days of neglect to hnvo tho sore
ft et so filled with maggots, that tho sheep will
liu pretty suro to dio. Just ns sure ns there is
any bad smell about tho feet, just so suro tho
tiles will find It, nnd do their best to prevent
any smelt reaching tho uoso of tho owner.
Sometimes, too, sheep got wounded acciden
tally, nud rams will get their Jieads sore, if
seeral nro kept lu the same Held, eitliei on
account of fighting or playing light. If these
w omuls nro neglected, thoy nro iipt to get lly
lilovvu; so nlso ewes that get dirty behind, from
tho adhesion of manure to tho folds of tho skin,
or to tho wool, will get mnggotty.lt not attended
to. A littlo tnr or spirits of turpentine may bo
npnlled around the wounds or tho root of tho
tail, effectually repelling flies until tho sores
aro healed.
Iu some parts of tho country tho Mocks are
llnblo to attacks from dogs, Sluep nro some
times slightly bitten, nud usually iu tho nock
or cheeks. Such wounds should bo dressed
with turpentine liniment so that tiles will not
touch them. Tho dogs can bo disposed of by
scattering in tho fluid a few pieces of lean meat
with strychnine inserted luto the middloof each
pleco. Tho euro Is certain nud permanent.
About two or threo weeks after shearing,
tho lambs can bo dipped luto a decoction of to
bacco, if thero are ticks on tho llock, which
will exterminate theso parasites from tho llock.
It Is best usually to salt tho flock about threo
times per week, ns by so doing tho condition of
tho llock can bo kept iu view, or any Incipient
lameness, or injury from any cause, will bo
surely noticed nud cau bo nttended to iu time.
Sheep will often bo seen running around tho
pnsturo iu hot weather, with their hinds close
to tho ground, as if trying to escape from somo
unseen enemy. They nro trying to get away
from tho l&trus oviu, a yellow and dark-brown
tly, from tho eggs of which, when deposited iu
tho nostrils of tho sheep, tho " grub" iu tho
hend is hatched. If several small places nro
dug or plowed up, iu different parts of tho pas
ture, so that tho sheep cau get their noses
dlrlvorilusty, thoy aro less liable to tho attacks
of this fly.
Tho recipo for tho vitriol ointment, is as fol
lows: To any iiuautilyof very finely pulverized
blue vitriol, add an equal weight of lard, and
mix thoroughly. This ointment Is a suro euro
for foot-rot, hoof-nil nud kindred diseases.
The Extension of tbe Signal Service to
the West Indies,
Tho public will bo glad to learn that the
loug-prolectfd extension of tho Weather Bu
reau to tuo west indies is nnout lu no practi
cally renlized. It Is In tho wnters of thu West
Iudian Archipelago that nro annually formed
thoso torriblo tornadoes which desolate our
Gulf and Atlantic sea-board nud liavo always
been the terror ot navigation. Tho blgnal Uf
flee, strctchlug out its lines of meteorological
sentinels, as is now proposed, will occupy sta
tions at llaanna, Bautiago do Cuba, Kingston
i Jnmnicn), I'orto ltieo, St. Thomas, Antigua,
Oundeloupo aud St. Viucont, in tho Windward
Islands, and thence by tho lateral cablo from
St. Vincent to Barbados it will plant its ex
truiio outlast nt this latter Island. Barbados
lies iu tho best possible position to furnish tho
earliest premonitions of tbe hurricane which
Is ou its way to raVago tho sen-roasts of tho
United States. At most of tho Wist Indian
islands the torriblo roar of these rovohlng
storms can bo heard ofteu while yet tho gale is
a wholo day distant. But at Barbados, al
though this Island wns the scone of tho his
toric storm of 17B0 known as "The (treat
Hurricane" It is so near tho cradle of the cy
clones that they havo seldom acquired violence
enough to be audible ns they approach its
southeastern shore. While iu tho Carnbbeau
sea these fearful meUors have an enormous
speed of rotation, but tho speed of translation
which they attaiu is happily but ery small,
nnd neur uioro than twenty miles an hour,
nnd seldom halt ns much as that. Thero is.

Home Counsel.
Our long experience In obtaining patents for
Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us
with tho character of most of tho inventions
nheady patented; hence wo aro frequently
able to save our patrons tho cont of a fruitless
application by pointing them lo tho same
tliiug already covered by a patent. Wo nro
always freo to advise applicants of any
n uvu iu imtinu eii'iiieiiiiin ti imj
ledge wo have of previous applications

Know

Wo Invito tho acquaintance of all parties con
nected with inventions aud patent right busi
ness, believing that tho mutual conference of
legitimate business nud professional men is
mutual gain. Parties iu doubt in regard to
their rights as assignees of patents, or pur
chasers of patented articles, can often receive
advice of importance to them from a short
call at our office.
Hemittances of money, made by individual in
ventors to tho Government, sometimes mis
carry, ond it has repeatedly happened that
applicants havo not only lot their money,
but their inventions also, from this cause ami
consequent delay. Wo hold ourselves re
sponsible for all foes intrusted to our agency.
Tho principal portion oftho patent business of

ered hero than any other agents.
Situated so remote from the scat of government,
delays aro even more dangerous to the invent

lost by thu extra tlmo consumed in transmit
